Christmas hog roast in West Thorney
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

About our Christmas hog roast in West Thorney
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. For year-end thank-yous and family Christmas gatherings, we can cook crackling, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
For a Christmas party near West Thorney, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planning a Christmas party in West Thorney
West Thorney is about 5 miles south-east of Havant, in West Sussex. Christmas parties in West Thorney are part of our patch. West Thorney is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cater. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 22 miles away.
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Thorney Island Community Primary School, hot rolls go down well. For anyone getting the train home after the party, Southbourne station, about 2.2 miles north, is the nearest station. The coast is within about 4 miles of West Thorney, and winter sea winds can be bitter.

A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved at the serving station.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. A lunchtime Christmas party in West Thorney is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Ask for a quote
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or PO10 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
